<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>TAP::Harness::Archive - Create an archive of TAP test results</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code>    use TAP::Harness::Archive;
    my $harness = TAP::Harness::Archive-&gt;new(\%args);
    $harness-&gt;runtests(@tests);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>This module is a direct subclass of <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Harness">TAP::Harness</a> and behaves in exactly the same way except for one detail. In addition to outputting a running progress of the tests and an ending summary it can also capture all of the raw TAP from the individual test files or streams into an archive file (<code>.tar</code> or <code>.tar.gz</code>).</p>

<h1 id="METHODS">METHODS</h1>

<p>All methods are exactly the same as our base <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Harness">TAP::Harness</a> except for the following.</p>

<h2 id="new">new</h2>

<p>In addition to the options that <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Harness">TAP::Harness</a> allow to this method, we also allow the following:</p>

<dl>

<dt id="archive">archive</dt>
<dd>

<p>This is the name of the archive file to generate. We use <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Archive::Tar">Archive::Tar</a> in the background so we only support <code>.tar</code> and <code>.tar.gz</code> archive file formats. This can optionally be an existing directory that will have the TAP archive&#39;s contents deposited therein without any file archiving (no <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Archive::Tar">Archive::Tar</a> involved).</p>

</dd>
<dt id="extra_files">extra_files</dt>
<dd>

<p>This is an array reference to extra files that you want to include in the TAP archive but which are not TAP files themselves. This is useful if you want to include some log files that contain useful information about the test run.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="extra_properties">extra_properties</dt>
<dd>

<p>This is a hash reference of extra properties that you&#39;ve collected during your test run. Some things you might want to include are the Perl version, the system&#39;s architecture, the operating system, etc.</p>

</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="runtests">runtests</h2>

<p>Takes the same arguments as <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Harness">TAP::Harness</a>&#39;s version and returns the same thing (a <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Parser::Aggregator">TAP::Parser::Aggregator</a> object). The only difference is that in addition to the normal test running and progress output we also create the TAP Archive when it&#39;s all done.</p>

<h2 id="aggregator_from_archive">aggregator_from_archive</h2>

<p>This class method will return a <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Parser::Aggregator">TAP::Parser::Aggregator</a> object when given a TAP Archive to open and parse. It&#39;s pretty much the reverse of creating a TAP Archive from using <code>new</code> and <code>runtests</code>.</p>

<p>It takes a hash of arguments which are as follows:</p>

<dl>

<dt id="archive1">archive</dt>
<dd>

<p>The path to the archive file. This can also be a directory if you created the archive as a directory. This is required.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="parser_callbacks">parser_callbacks</dt>
<dd>

<p>This is a hash ref containing callbacks for the <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Parser">TAP::Parser</a> objects that are created while parsing the TAP files. See the <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Parser">TAP::Parser</a> documentation for details about these callbacks.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="made_parser_callback">made_parser_callback</dt>
<dd>

<p>This callback is executed every time a new <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/TAP::Parser">TAP::Parser</a> object is created. It will be passed the new parser object, the name of the file to be parsed, and also the full (temporary) path of that file.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="meta_yaml_callback">meta_yaml_callback</dt>
<dd>

<p>This is a subroutine that will be called if we find and parse a YAML file containing meta information about the test run in the archive. The structure of the YAML file will be passed in as an argument.</p>

</dd>
</dl>

<pre><code>    my $aggregator = TAP::Harness::Archive-&gt;aggregator_from_archive(
        {
            archive          =&gt; &#39;my_tests.tar.gz&#39;,
            parser_callbacks =&gt; {
                plan    =&gt; sub { warn &quot;Nice to see you plan ahead...&quot; },
                unknown =&gt; sub { warn &quot;Your TAP is bad!&quot; },
            },
            made_parser_callback =&gt; sub {
                my ($parser, $file, $full_path) = @_;
                warn &quot;$file is temporarily located at $full_path\n&quot;;
            }
            
        }
    );</code></pre>
